Verse 1 I smile like I’m standing steady, but my hands are shaking inside. I tell myself I’m breathing freely, yet I’m holding back the tide. Every word I never sent you echoes louder in my chest, I’m caught between what feels like home and what won’t let me rest. Pre-Chorus I don’t need promises or vows, I don’t need a perfect sign. I just need to know if the silence means you’re gone or biding time. Chorus I’m standing on a wire of hope and fear, pulling you close, then pushing you clear. I want you without losing me, but I’m tired of fighting who I need to be. I don’t know how to stay or go, I just know I feel you even when you don’t show. I’m breaking slowly, holding tight, loving you in the quiet fight. Verse 2 I scroll past proof that you’re still breathing, like I need to see you’re real. You look calm, like nothing’s burning, while I’m drowning in what I feel. I pretend it doesn’t cut so deep, that I’m stronger than before, but wanting you without being wanted leaves bruises I can’t ignore. Pre-Chorus I don’t want a goodbye in disguise, or a closure dressed as truth. I just want to know if I’m alone in the space between me and you. Chorus I’m standing on a wire of hope and fear, pulling you close, then pushing you clear. I want you without losing me, but I’m tired of fighting who I need to be. I don’t know how to stay or go, I just know I feel you even when you don’t show. I’m breaking slowly, holding tight, loving you in the quiet fight. Bridge If loving you means disappearing, I don’t want to fade away. But if letting go means killing every truth I’m scared to say… Then tell me how to breathe again when every part of me knows— I don’t want an ending, I just don’t want to lose myself in the in-between. Final Chorus I’m standing on a wire of heart and mind, trying to leave pieces behind. I want you, but I need me too, and I don’t know which one I’ll lose. So I stay right here in the slow goodbye that never dares to say its name. I love you in the quiet fight, where hope and heartbreak feel the same. Outro If you ever feel this pull inside, know it wasn’t just in my head. I didn’t want to own your heart— I just wanted to be met
